If you choose to "report errors in a new document", at least some types
of error will be output in that new document, and the merge /may/
proceed to completion, but there are obviously likely to be problems in
your merge output as macropod says.
You can select the "report errors in a new document option"
a. in Word 2007 using the Mailings tab-Preview Results group-Auto
check for errors option
b. in Word 2002/2003 by enabling the MailMerge toolbar (e.g.
View-Toolbars)and clicking the check for Errors button (about 5 buttons
from the right-hand end of the toolbar.

Is it possible to override the field calculation errors?
I have tried a On error goto type command but it doesn't seem to detect the pop-up as an error.

A few things you can try or look at...
a. If you create a simple mail merge main document with no text, images,
etc, do you see the problem? Make sure the document is completely blank
other than the stuff you insert, i.e. no headers/footers etc. (A "bad"
normal.dot could be inserteing something unhelpful into every document you
create).
b. Do you actually have any calculation fields in the problem documents (
i.e. {=} fields ?)
c. Do you have numeric picture switches (e.g. \#$,0.00 ) in any of your
fields, and if so, do the characters for the decimal point and separator
match the ones in your Windows regional options?
